Once upon a mountain top, three little trees stood and dreamed of what they wanted to become when they grew up. The first little tree looked up at the stars and said......

That is the start of one of my favorite books for Christmas, really it is such a beautiful folktale for any time. If you have not read this book - please do, it will inspire and uplift you.
And today, in honor of one of my favorite books I hope you enjoy my gift to you, the paper piece pattern 'Three Trees"

I love the odd angles of the trees, and the folk art affect of the quilting.

First of all can I say THANK YOU!!! Your kind comments have been so appreciated! I put things out there and hope that they will be enjoyed and so to hear your encouraging comments was such a treat for me.

Just like the piles of laundry in my laundry room, this quilt may seem a bit intimidating. But why not take it one small batch at a time, like this darling dress and see how good it feels.

Here I chose to simply my laundry even more and simply applique the dress dress using fabrics from the new Ruby fabric line. I finished the appliqued piece framed in a charming 8x10 frame with a matt of jumbo white ric rack.

I hope you enjoy my Little Laundry block. Now to the good stuff!!!

Leave a comment for a chance to win one of my giveaways!

I will be giving away a charm pack of my favorite Ruby fabric, the 100 Block collectors edition magazine provided by Quiltmaker, and a copy of my book Laundry Day.
